Today we spent the class covering basic facts and computation. There has been a new component added to their Grade 9 Math PAT next year. Students will be completing a 20 question computation section that focuses on skills and mental math concepts - no calculators will be allowed. To help prepare students for this, we will be spending time continuing to practice and develop these skills.
Tomorrow we will continue working through the Fractions unit.

The students are continuing to work with fractions. Today they will have a class to practice the concepts of multiplying fractions by whole numbers, fractions by fractions, and multiplying more than 2 fractions together.
The students created a foldable in class today with the steps and examples for adding and multiplying fractions. Students are encouraged to use this foldable when doing their independent work to remind/refresh themselves about the proper steps when working with fractions.
Students have completed their unit on Data Management. We have started our next unit, Fractions (multiplying and dividing). To introduce the unit, we did a class of review on adding and subtracting fractions with common denominators and different denominators. Today we introduced the concept of multiplication of fractions.
The students are looking at using Bar Graphs, Line Graphs, Circle Graphs and
Pictographs to represent and interpret data. The students need to finish their assignment where they were given 3 sets of data and they needed to complete a graph to represent the information. This needs to be completed and handed in to Mrs. Teasdale by tomorrow (Sept. 26th). The students have started our first unit, Representing Data. We have been looking at using different types of graphs to display specific information. The students are taking data provided to them and drawing/creating appropriate graphs to represent the data.
We are currently finishing up review of important facts and concepts. Today we focused on factoring and prime factorization. We will be starting our Data Management unit on Monday September 18th.
